Alt Scores Massive Double Through Moran

Dan O'Hair

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Dinesh Alt opened to 5,000 on the button and was three-bet to 20,000 by Daniel Moran from the big blind. Alt called.

Alt called an 11,000 bet from Moran on the 3♣2♦10♠ flop. Moran then checked on the 6♣ turn, prompting Alt to shove for 62,000 total.

"I have a ten," Moran announced as he contemplated his decision.

Moran eventually put in calling chips to put Alt at risk.

Dinesh Alt: A♣J♣
Daniel Moran: 10♦7♠

Moran had made the right call, but the 4♣ river provided Alt with a winning flush for the huge double-up.

Lampropulos led out on the 3♦ turn for 15,000 which sent Morelos back into the tank for a moment. Ultimately he decided to muck leaving Lampropulos with the pot.

On the river Thiriart moved all in, forcing a fold from Sandev.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jon Kyte opened to 6,500 from under the gun and Julien Groenendijk defended his big blind.

Kyte continued with a bet of 6,500 when Groenendijk checked to him on the 3♣2♦9♥ flop, only to be faced with a check-raise to 20,000 from his opponent.

Kyte pondered his options for a while, before producing the all-in four-bet of 87,000.

Groenendijk asked for a count and on being informed of the sum, made a relatively quick call, with Kyte at risk.

Jon Kyte: A♦4♦
Julien Groenendijk: K♣9♠

Kyte was in trouble with his ace-high and straight draw in bad shape against Groenendijk's top pair of nines, and no help arrived on the 2♣J♦ runout, eliminating Kyte and sending a significant pot to Groenendijk.

Lampropulos Claims the Rest of Schulz's Chips

Dan O'Hair

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Maria Lampropulos shoved from the small blind, which was enough to put Robert Schulz all in for his last 20,000. Schulz called to put himself at risk.

Robert Schulz: A♦8♣
Maria Lampropulos: A♥10♥

Lampropulos had Schulz dominated, and the 7♦3♠7♠10♣9♣ runout needlessly improved Lampropulos to two pair for the knockout.
